Case Study
Naturally aspirated to responsive, reliable boost. This street setup makes 240 kW at the wheels with excellent drivability and temps kept in check.
Our workshop completed a full HKS turbo kit installation on a Toyota 86, transforming it from naturally aspirated to a responsive, reliable boosted street car. We fitted the turbo manifold, heat-wrapped dump pipe, and dual resonated front pipe to free up exhaust flow. The compact, efficient HKS intercooler was installed with careful alignment for a clean finish. Supporting hardware included high-flow fuel injectors, flex-fuel capability, and HKS Racing Super Fire spark plugs for consistent performance.
For boosted 86/BRZ builds we strongly recommend the HKS oil cooler. This turbo-specific kit includes ducting and wheel-guard vents to keep oil temps under control during spirited driving or track use.
Strong, usable power
240 kW at the wheels on a safe street tune suited to stock internals.
Great spool & response
Compact turbo system with efficient intercooler routing.
Thermal management
Heat-wrapped dump pipe + HKS oil cooler to keep temps stable.
Future headroom
Flex-fuel ready with fueling upgrades for later power goals.
After installation the car was custom tuned on our dyno to deliver 240 kW at the wheels. While the HKS kit can make more, this level balances performance with reliability for stock engine internals and factory gearbox—ideal for a daily that still feels quick.
